Bay State Gas seeks larger capital amid insurance bill defeat
In a Boston session the Senate amended a Bay State Gas Co capital increase from 500000 to 2500000, sending the bill to a third reading on a 28 to 5 vote. The House rejected the assessment insurance bill and debated street railway labor hours, adopting an amendment for extra pay for overtime. Auditors in probate courts prompt further discussion as lawmakers split on the sick benefits issue, while conductors and drivers on street rails won an overtime access measure by 92 to 76 and 100 to 70 before the bill's third-reading push.

Tariff Debate Shapes Free Trade vs Protection
In a heated session, Republicans defend the Mills bill as a revenue tariff reform to reduce the surplus, while defending protectionist aims. Southern speakers praise tariff relief but warn against whiskey cuts, and Democrats argue sugar protection props Louisiana planters. The debate links wages, employment, and British model contrasts with U.S. policy.

District Conventions Reveal Local Republican Drama
The fourth district Republican convention in Boston functioned like a mini Chicago before choosing delegates. Noyes refused a Chicago candidacy yet ran as delegate. Gove led the room, then receded. In Chelsea and Lowell, Littlefield McCall and Sargent were also elected by informal ballots and formal rounds, amid disputes over declarations and ballots.
